Before I get started on an introduction and explanation as to why I am Anonymous, I thought I would talk about some non-UUA stuff happening in the area.
For those of you readers who don't know much about the Central Midwest District, it encompasses all of Illinois, most of Wisconsin, the eastern third of Missouri and a little bit of Indiana. Depending on where in the district you are, you live nearer to one of the two big cities: Chicago (the really big city) or St. Louis (the big enough city). On the map I am closer to St. Louis.
In St. Louis there's been a big to-do over the city's fire department. It seems that on the most recent test for people interested in becoming firemen 670 of 833 people failed. Before some emails were uncovered, there had been the suggestion that the results and the tossing out of the test was not due, in part to race. Oh, but what a wonderful thing email is; turns out that race was a MAJOR factor in both the results and the tossing out of the test. Seems like the demoted Chief was right.
If you're interested in these kinds of things, go to http://www.stltoday.com/ and put the words "fire department" in the search engine and you'll get more than you'll ever want to see.
